Ummm... I have a surplus-to-requirements Windows gaming laptop - 2.5 years old. eBay search suggests the spec is worth around £500 used. I'd let it go for rather less to a pal (£400 inc. UK tracked delivery). Anyone interested before I eBay it?

1. Reads Dorley and learns about head voice.
2. Looks up head voice, realises most of the videos explaining it are about singing, whatever it's probably effectively the same thing.
3. Video describes it as singing without using your lungs?!
4. But that's where the air is, and how the air moves???

I need to try working on my voice properly, but the last time I tried I don't think I even understood half of the concepts that the training was aiming for. As in it was trying to get me to do stuff which sounds like it would be physically impossible.

It’s that time of year where @dreadships.bsky.social and I need book recommendations for the ScornDread Children, as Nikolaus will leave a book in their boots next Saturday. The younger one (14) really enjoys fantasy and the older one (17) nerdy nonfiction.

I was born with a substantial gap in the wall that divides the heart ventricles. Which while not immediately lethal does eventually become incompatible with life (age 10 or so was projected for me). So I had an op to disconnect the right hand side of the heart, giving me a single system circulation.
Ok query time. Biology is messy and full of exceptions. How does *your* body differ from the usual expected of you as the human you are? Anything big or small.

One of my Nigerian colleagues volunteered to stay a bit late last year when I went home with the greyhound being really unwell. When I came in the following day he asked how the dog was and I said the vet came and put the dog to sleep, got the reply "oh, that's nice". Had to explain the euphemism.
Said the phrase 'I'm over the moon!' to a Polish man and he was a little confused and asked what I meant so I explained and when I finished he just shook his head and said 'You're happy but you have no business in space.'

I would like to play Europa Universalis V, but my laptop doesn't really have the specs for it. Now I'm desperately trying to get through the tutorial to see if it runs acceptably on very low settings BEFORE the two hour cut-off for a steam refund if it doesn't.
